I need help with my dad. It seems we hardly go a day without fighting. I try to talk and be civil, but he won't listen.
No matter how perfect I am, I'm not perfect enough.
When parents act like ogres, it may have little to do with you. They may be tired or hungry, or things went poorly at work, or their own dads were mean. Don't give up on your dad.
But don't transfer his dissatisfaction or impossible standards onto yourself either. You're not perfect but maybe you ARE perfect enough. (P.S. Any chance you can ask your mom to buy him a book on parenting? How would he react if you took one out of the library?)

I have the same exact problems, with both of my parents. And they wonder why I never want to be home!

mod. I can feel your pain to an extent...I don't live with my real Dad...my step dad and my mom. But I never can sit down with my dad and "talk" to him because its not the type of relationship we have...and I don't like my step-mom...so pretty much whenever I see my dad its always a fake act of being sweet and nice. Plus he live 4 hours away. So just be thankful he is there, and him fighting with you is a way of saying he cares. don't hlod it to him. He loves you.

haha yeah, my dad and i fight a lot...i usually fight back but lately i've just gave him the silent treatment...
RockerQueen4Life on 11/8/2009 9:41:08 AM
I don't get along with my dad very well either. When he yells or gets mad at you, just walk away. It's best to be the bigger person. If he puts you down, say, "I have feelings, please respect them." If he ever threatens you, say, "If you say anything like that again I will let someone know." Let someone know at school if he does that like a tteacher, guidance counselor, or nurse. You have tto have a high amount of self esteem, and can't be worried or depressed about anything. In your self, you matter most.

MOD! I always fight with my dad 2. It's like we can never get along. He even yelled at me when I did as well as or better than 99% of the nation on the standardized test. I guess I have to be in that top 100%. But sometimes he is so sweet and nice to me. It's really confusing.
